Who is Katsuki Bakugo in My Hero Academia?
Katsuki Bakugo is the deuteragonist of My Hero Academia. He is the childhood friend and bully of whom he affectionately calls "Kacchan". His official hero name is Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight. Bakugo enrolls in the prestigious UA Academy hero course after performing brilliantly on the entrance test.
Throughout the majority of the story, Bakugo acts as a relentless bully towards Deku after witnessing Deku's growth and determination while working to become stronger himself.
After being kidnapped by the League of Villains, which ultimately leads to the final battle of his hero career in Kamina, Bakugo's self-confidence suffers greatly.
Bakugo is the most popular character in My Hero Academia, having won the top spot consecutively in all but the first popularity poll.
This is not only because of her powers, but also because of her great character development in the story. His bond with Deku and his respect for All Might are central to his character.
Katsuki Bakugo: quirk, powers and abilities in My Hero Academia
Bakugo is one of the strongest students of his generation, his abilities and skills are far above that of an average student. He not only possesses extremely powerful power, but he is also highly intelligent and in tune with his body and environment to use it to its fullest potential.
Bakugo is also very fast, thanks to the clever use of his Quirk, and his techniques can rival the skills of a professional hero. His only drawback is his inability to cooperate with others. However, even this changes as the story progresses and he learns to trust and respect his peers.
Oddity: Explosion
Bakugo's Quirk Explosion is a particularly powerful Quirk with versatile uses. He allows his palms to secrete pure nitroglycerin in the form of sweat, making it highly explosive. He can burn his sweat on command and create powerful explosions. The more sweat he secretes, the stronger the explosions become.
However, like any Quirk, it is a capacity of the body and it has limits. If Bakugo uses his Quirk too much, his forearms start to hurt. Thus, the longer and more intensely he uses Explosion, the more tension his body is subjected to. To make his Quirk more effective, he uses the following support equipment: Grenadier Bracers, improvised grenades, knee pads, and a heavy mobile suppression unit called the Strafe Panzer.
Bakugo is very proficient in the use of his Quirk, to the point that many believe his mastery rivals that of professional heroes. He is very intelligent and has a lot of control over the explosion, so he can use the Quirk in a variety of ways other than just creating explosions.
Bakugo uses the explosions created by his palms to propel himself into the air and gain momentum. He can also use his Quirk for defensive purposes. But Blast's greatest strength is its raw offensive power. It will be a sight to behold when this already devastating Quirk is awakened.
In the second film, titled My Hero Academia: Heroes: Rising, Deku passes One For All to Bakugo during their fight against Nine. However, the Quirk later returns to Deku. Thus, Bakugo becomes the only person in My Hero Academia to use One For All for such a short time.
In My Hero Academia, Bakugo uses the following techniques with his explosive Quirk:
- Stun Grenade
- Howitzer impact
- AP Shot
- Explode-a-Pult
- Landmine explosion
- Cluster (Blasting Speed Turbo: Cluster, Howitzer Impact: Cluster)
Future role in My Hero Academia
In the Final War Arc, Bakugo's future seems bleak when he appears to die during the fight against him and other heroes. After being fatally shot in the chest by Shigaraki, Bakugo's heart stops, causing cardiac arrest and leaving him lying lifeless on the ground. However, Edgeshot is determined to save the young hero while the other heroes guard Bakugo's lifeless body.
It was recently revealed, much to the joy and surprise of fans, that Bakugo is indeed alive and ready for action. Towards the end of All Might's fight against All For One, when the former is about to be killed by the villain, Bakugo finally arrives. Using Deku to gain momentum, he saves his idol from All For One.
It is then revealed how Bakugo survived his apparent death. Edgeshot managed to keep him alive, using his own body to hold Bakugo's torn organs together. However, he confirms that Bakugo's heart did indeed stop and that it was the boy's Quirk that restarted his heart.
Edgeshot also reveals that Bakugo's body is far from healed and is not at all ready for combat, he is in great pain. But the abrasive hero conveys his gratitude to those who saved him and, after receiving his namesake gauntlet from All Might, announces to All For One that he is the "final boss."
It seems that although Deku will make the ultimate fight against Shigaraki, the responsibility of defeating All For One will fall on Bakugo. Their fight is about to begin and it's clear that Bakugo will prove to be a difficult, if not final, opponent for All For One.
